i'm on WIN 10 (1809) , chrome 74.0.3729.169  
Also,  
I use Node-Red-Desktop [[ANNOUNCE] Node-RED Desktop v0.8.8 Released](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/announce-node-red-desktop-v0-8-8-released/11461), and this is the same issue .

Thanks to @sakazuki, i have to do this trick to zoom out :

```auto
How to fix.

Open %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Node-RED-Desktop\Preferences

Edit "127.0.0.1" 's value to "0.0"

(snip..)
 "partition": {
   "per_host_zoom_levels": {
     "5784206245549279452": {
       "127.0.0.1": -6
     }
   }
}
Restart Node-RED-Desktop

```

@Colin : can you test on WIN10 ?

No - I use the ones next to the numbers below the function keys

However, the + and - you use work fine for me in Chrome but don't work in Node-RED desktop

Ok, yes, in Chrome, zoom + and - works, but you increase or decrease the complete page! In the same way as Ctrl + roulette.

While these shortcuts Ctrl + or [=] and Ctrl - must zoom only, the nodes in the flow (the workspace).

And there, it does not work for me!
